The American Medical Association projects a physician shortage across the United States between 37,800 and 124,000 over the next 12 years. During this timeframe, the US’s population is expected to age and thus require an increasing amount of healthcare services within acute care settings and a larger proportional share of GDP will be attributed to healthcare expenditure.
Some industry estimates suggest that 88% of hospitals used locum tenen providers to fill a staff shortage in 2021, so the fact that your facility is struggling to find quality clinicians to meet patient demand means you’re not alone, quite the opposite in fact. Leading facilities are using locum tenen services to meet seasonal demand, back fill retirements and clinician departures as well as market test new service lines.
Royal Surgical Associates has intentionally developed a leadership team focused exclusively on recruitment of niche provider types, and through that work has built an extensive network of providers in each locale we serve. Most often these providers work exclusively in locum tenen assignments, and already have the appropriate license to be able to help your facility as soon as credentialed.
Unlike big box firms, that use recruiters to source candidates across many specialties, Royal Surgical Associates has deep expertise in a few key areas and spends all of our time and energy in those specialties. If you are presented with a provider from us, rest assured knowing they have been vetted by our trained clinicians and can most certainly do the job you require on day one.
Our providers are of the highest quality, we’re willing to bet our reputation that you’ll agree.
